What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The government began seeking expert advice on energy policy following fuel price shocks linked to the war in Iran. Separately, the cabinet approved an increased fuel price cap for Petrojam, which absorbed approximately US$18 million in costs while awaiting government reimbursement. This occurred as domestic fuel-price increases reached up to $40 per litre, according to reports.
